Are You Threatening Me with a Child?

Zhou Wanwan glanced around the county government office and burst out laughing. She really wanted to go to the office to see what kind of expression Cheng Xiao would have.

Last night, the county government officials kept watch at Feng Jiao's door all night. This morning, when Feng Jiao went out and saw them, she shouted, "What are you doing? What are you all doing crowding my door?"

Cheng Xiao rushed over from a short distance away and said, "Feng Jiao, you're really bold to harbor a wanted criminal."

Feng Jiao frowned and said, "Lord Cheng, you need to have evidence before you speak. Just because you say I'm harboring a wanted criminal doesn't mean I'm harboring a wanted criminal!"

Cheng Xiao laughed heartily:

"Feng Jiao, why are you in such a hurry? Many people saw a wanted criminal enter your residence."

Hand them over now, and I might let it go.

If you don't hand it over, I'll take people in and search you, but if they find anything, your crime will be compounded.

Even if it's your brother, your father can't save you. You know Zhou Wanwan, right?

That little girl is so cunning; she's the one who caused our divorce. I hate her to the core now.

Feng Jiao calmly looked at him and said, "Cheng Xiao, you've never properly considered whether you yourself are at fault."

Cheng Xiao shouted, "Feng Jiao, I did spoil you before, but isn't having multiple wives and concubines a normal thing?"

Feng Jiao chuckled and said, "Having three wives and four concubines is indeed a very normal thing, but what did you promise my parents and brothers when you married me?"

Cheng Xiao rolled her eyes and said:

"Stop bringing up these old grievances. If you had done a good enough job, would I have had to go to such lengths?"

Caigu, I've never been as high and mighty as you.

Feng Jiao smiled calmly and said:

"You two are indeed quite alike; birds of a feather flock together."

Since that's the case, then you two should live together properly and make sure it's locked up tightly.

Cheng Xiao sighed and said:

"Feng Jiao, why do you say things like that to upset me?"

You know perfectly well that I still have feelings for you, especially during the time you were gone. I've thought about it carefully, and I realize I haven't been thorough enough.

Here's what we'll do! As long as you're willing to come back, you'll still be the legal wife.

Feng Jiao asked with a half-smile, "And what about Feng Caigu?"

"Her? She's willing to give up her position as the principal wife; she's willing to be a secondary wife. Caigu is a magnanimous person and would never care about such things." Cheng Xiao had already made arrangements with Feng Caigu.

Feng Caigu agreed, mainly because she realized how expensive daily necessities were after she took over the household.

Now she can't save any money at all each month, whereas before she could afford clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics every month.

But now there is no money coming in at all each month. Her child is going to a private school, which costs ten taels of silver every month.

She really didn't want to live like that anymore.

Feng Caigu was willing, but Feng Jiao was not!

She snorted coldly and said:

"Cheng Xiao, you know very well in your heart that if I hadn't taken a liking to you, you would never have been able to marry me."

"You're just trying to get me to go back and fill the hole your family slut is in. Stop dreaming."

Cheng Xiao said angrily:

"Fine, you're going to be stubborn. Go in and search. If you find anything, bring the person out."

I want to interrogate her personally. I hate Zhou Wanwan to the Zhou Wanwan. She's so young, yet her heart is so vicious.

Feng Jiao scoffed coldly, "They didn't do anything, so is it appropriate for you to pin the blame on them?"

Cheng Xiao sneered:

"If she doesn't come to our house, you won't discover Caigu's secret, and we won't need to divorce. It seems you're quite protective of her."

How about this? If you're willing to come back with me, I'll let her go today, okay?

Feng Jiao angrily said:

"You're threatening me with a child? Cheng Xiao, you're really something."

Don't forget, I have three older brothers!

Cheng Xiao laughed heartily:

"They're too far away to reach you, and besides, do you think they can protect you forever?"

Feng Jiao, think it over carefully! If you go back to Upper Capital, how will your girlfriends laugh at you?

I can tell you, when you get back, your girlfriends will laugh you to death.

But if we get back together, it'll be different. Nobody will know we were ever divorced, and everything will be just like before.

We'll continue to let you manage our household.

This was indeed a problem that Feng Jiao had always been worried about, after all, the word "divorced" doesn't sound good.

But she didn't want to go back to that wolf's den.

Cheng Xiao and Feng Caigu are both bad people; they'll take her life sooner or later.

And then there's Feng Yueyao. If she really goes back, her life won't be easy either. She might get killed by Feng Caigu any day now.

Cheng Xiao Feng Jiao remained silent, Cheng Xiao waved her hand, and the constables filed in and began searching.

After searching for more than half an hour, Jiang Wu finally came out with a cold face and said, "We didn't find anything unusual, nor did we find any suspicious persons."

Cheng Xiao was furious. He had thought he could use this to blackmail Feng Jiao, but to his surprise, they couldn't find a single person on the search.

Cheng Xiao glared at Feng Jiao and said, "Someone clearly saw them enter here, so where did you hide them?"

Feng Jiao looked at him and said:

"Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true. I've never seen anyone come into our area."

You are now the county magistrate, you can say whatever you want, you can frame me with just a word, but don't forget, my mother is a princess.

Aren't you afraid my parents will report you to the police?

Cheng Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Withdraw, all of you!"

He had barely finished speaking when Zhou Fuyu rushed over and exclaimed, "It's terrible! Lord Cheng, our county office has been robbed by thieves!"

Cheng Xiao angrily said:

"What did you say? The county government office was robbed? Send someone to investigate immediately! Who could be the culprit?"

How dare you cause trouble in my county government office? Investigate! If you find anything, throw them in jail!

Feng Jiao laughed heartily:

"Cheng Xiao, you've brought this upon yourself. If you and your ilk hadn't been here guarding me yesterday, none of this would have happened."

Now look what's happened; they've lost both the sesame seed and the watermelon.

Cheng Xiao was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. He had recently raised a sum of money, all of which came from taxes.

A total of over 1,000 taels of silver, now all gone.

He said angrily:

"Feng Jiao, stop gloating. Sooner or later it will be your turn."

It's just a little over 1,000 taels of silver. I can earn it back anytime I want.

The only reason you don't want to come with me now is because I'm poor.

"After I make a comeback, you'll have a good time."

After saying that, he stormed off in a huff.

Feng Jiao sneered, "Someone like you think you can make a comeback? You'll never rise another step in this lifetime."

Cheng Xiao rushed back to the county government office, only to find that the gates were tightly closed.

He frowned and said, "Why isn't the gate open? Open it right now! Where are all the gatekeepers?"
